Chapter 59: Chapter 59

"Childish." Damon said coldly, changing into a black down jacket and a matching knit beanie before heading out. I followed him outside, wrapping my scarf tight around my neck before I started rolling snowballs. The snow was freezing and my hands quickly turned red. A servant brought me some gloves which I wore as I continued my snowball craft. Damon, on the other hand, just stood there. "I asked you to build a snowman with me, not watch me do it," I said unhappily. "Do you still see yourself as a three year old?" Damon shot back, clearly annoyed. "You’re too old for this childishness, why build a snowman?" Did he also complain when he was building snowmen with Ariel in my past life? I angrily picked up a chunk of snow and smashed it mercilessly on Damon. He brushed off the snow and returned fire. Our snowball fight had begun. But Damon was stronger and had better aim than me. I kept missing while he always hit his mark. I was a sore loser. While Damon was bending down to gather snow, I threw a snowball that hit him square on the head. Hegrunted and glared at me, "Eli!" "Come hit me then!" I provoked him, laughing triumphantly. Damon picked up a basketball-sized snowball and was about to throw it at me when I rushed towards him and clung to his waist, looking up at him. "Go on, kill me so you can marry Ariel." Snowflakes fell on my face, my eyelashes, and the ends of Damon’s hair. He looked at me, his eyes piercingly beautiful. The atmosphere seemed to freeze. Although I had loved Damon for ten years and we had made love, this kind of innocent teasing was a first. I wasn’t sure if I purposely acted before Ariel could, or if I was trying to make up for my pitiful past self. "Cheater," Damon finally looked away, looking slightly uncomfortable. He dropped the snowball and I quickly let go of him.

Damon went back to the room, leaving me lost in thought in the freezing outside. It took me a while to snap out of it and prepare to continue building a snowman, but I gave up after a short while.
